This needs a part two

[@Jman417]

More cowbell please!!

[@brianv1372]

You teased us with “Debbie Downer” at the beginning of the video but left it out of the countdown entirely? What’s up with that?!

[@WatchMojo]

Sorry, we try to tease by including shots of things that don't make the list or honorable mentions. The editor must have just wanted to pay respects to that skit and give it some face time!

[@srami004]

@@WatchMojo PUT IT ON THE LIST. lol

[@sac0812]

Ooooohhhhh weee. what's up with that?

[@babu357]

They always do that. I'm used to it now. lol

[@calebk9111]

@@gamerkathan It's not clickbait because it's not begging you to click on something. You were already watching the video.

I need Adam Driver on every season of SNL

[@aolson72178]

Loved the midevil times so funny

[@jeremyfryar3424]

@@aolson72178 to me that was one of the best skits ever. I can’t watch that skit without cracking up

[@linziRyan1965]

It’s classic

[@BitWrecker]

You and Jon Oliver both lol

[@cleobinx]

Yes!!

[@goblinb]

The Adele 'Hello' Thanksgiving spoof gets me every time. I'm also fond of the Disney Princess reality show spoof. And the Kristin Stewart Tostino spoof is friggin hilarious!

[@taylorlussier675]

"My name's Sabine. What's yours?" "I... I've never had one..." I had to scramble to find my inhaler that I hadn't used in two years because I couldn't breathe after that short.

[@TH-gy6kt]

the Dave chappelle, recent sketch with aunt jamima and uncle ben, is probably one of the funniest sketches if seen in along time

[@beckywiththefrizzyhair]

YES! I cried laughing just from Maya’s “But I’m aunt Jemima!”

[@danielczako4910]

Did you see the one with the rock as Coco the wrestler?

[@jalabi99]

"Black Jeopardy!" with T'Challa (the late great Chadwick Boseman). "Aw hell naw, Karen! Keep your bland-ass potato salad to yourself!"

[@amaki027]

"I'm on a boat" is underrated

[@travisneill704]

I played that nonstop when I got my first cruising sailboat

[@femkev.5245]

I literally could not stop laughing the first time I saw David Pumpkins and I still laugh at it years later. Definitely my favourite SNL sketch ever.

[@Jkev24]

It's one of those sketches that is so bad it's hilarious. I absolutely love how dumb it is.

[@katiek6393]

Did you guys forget Bill Hader exists? Stefon, Laser Cats, Keith Morrison, James Carville, Vincent Price (and that's just off the top of my head)? At least one of those should have made it, instead of 3 different lonely island numbers. Not to downplay what they do, but maybe a little variety?

[@sarahhollister150]

I truly thought More Cow Bell was a mid 90’s skit. My decades are starting to all run together

[@FlorGosetti]

For me the birthday and slumber partys when Melanie meets her friends's dads.. those are priceless. Also Gemma with Benedict Cumberbatch

[@cleobinx]

Yes!!

[@bare365]

WWE Promotion Shoot w/The Rock it starts out lite but by the end everything goes off the rails when the Rock tells the junkyard mutt that he catfishes his ass...🤣🤣🤣

[@karlafornia]

Chippendale Dancers--Swayze and Farley, Debbie Downer--trip to Disneyland, Job Interview--Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor, Schwetty Balls--Alec Baldwin, James Brown "In the Hot Tub"--Eddie Murphy

[@midnightfury4584]

All good ones, but most of these were not in the past 20 years, and that was the point of the list.

[@seangraves5981]

I'm so ecstatic you're here to explain why snl sketches are funny for those who can't see the obvious. Thank you for breaking down everything for the one's that doesn't understand what humor is.

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

I swear if David S Pumpkins isn’t number one... 😂

[@nicolelakes6241]

Not funny

[@batgurrl]

Love your SNL lists Watchmojo. More Cowbell and Dick In a Box are my two tops. Any time Larry David showed up as Bernie made me smile

[@TheMiKeYM1KE]

That Election Night Sketch hit different lmao

[@willfomes406]

The number 10 spot on this list is a sick wake up call for those who thought that Natalie Portman didn’t have mad rapping skills.

[@Ms_eLLE]

Anytime I want someone to stop talking, I hear the 'tss tss tss' of What Up With That. Well, we outta time. Aw Lindsey...

[@wolbaman]

SNL Mid-Day News; possibly their best skit ever 😂

[@mikeluque6527]

Oh hell no. "Close Encounters" is #1.

[@lesliemartin2901]

I don't condone abuse, but I loved Melissa McCarthy when she did Sheila Kelley, the abusive basketball coach. I HOWL everytime I see that sketch. She's just so over the top. Reminded me of Bob Knight with the Indiana Hoosiers back in the day. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ferociousgumby]

The "cowbell" sketch has haunted Christopher Walken. When fans see him, they scream. "More cowbell! More cowbell!" He hates it now.

[@tmbline]

I guess Stefan is more of a character segment 😅😔

[@Darthslim108]

Black Jeopardy with Chadwick Boseman

[@christopherourth9228]

Oh and I forgot as honorable mentions, the "Starbucks verissimo" commercial and also the "Alexa Silver(?)" made quite many of us here in Phoenix belly laugh.

[@yazrandom294]

I really like “The mermaid Shud”

[@rare6143]

Barb the Pizza Eater was the first SNL sketch I ever saw. I don't expect it to be here, but I hope it is.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

will ferrel's american flag bikini thong, where he wore it at a business meeting to show his love of america. it was the first post 9-11 sketch... it parodied the fact that everyone was wearing american flag clothing to show their patriotism - but also lovingly paid tribute to the brave men and women at ground zero who were still excavating the site. it was hilarious, but also memorable.. a lot of us still had tears streaming down our faces, but now with MUCH needed laughter.

[@ryanshedler4861]

Chance the Rapper as Lazlo Holmes is the best. Can't believe it's not on this list

[@carlosspicywiener9267]

Can't believe that Dave Chappelle's football party and the walking dead skits were snubbed in favor of so many vanilla options.

[@WesleyEvan87]

David Pumpkins might be one of the best modern SNL skits.

[@williamlyons2720]

A really underrated one was the one with the two basketball players in the back of a movie shot screwing up, just one that always makes me laugh

[@gmoneysobroke]

The Rock playing the evil scientist is my favorite 😂😂😂

[@emmalawrencetaylor]

The Napster Trials is my all time favorite SNL sketch.

[@myeahonline]

some of my favorites are Maine Justice, Beygency, the potato chip one by Jason and Will, the wedding speech by Andrew Garfield, Friendos, and Sister.

[@masonpelletier-biggs5768]

Eddie Murphy's 2019 mr robinsons neighborhood should've made the list.

[@lindagoad2163]

Dear sister, papyrus, the actress should be in the top 3 for sure.

[@MarcusJCooper91]

The lack of Debbie Downer at Disney World on this list is a tragedy

[@cleobinx]

I love drunk uncle and I love the ranch dressing skecth with Melissa MacArthy . I also love anything Bill harder and Adam driver are in

[@BrimHawk]

I'm surprised "Space Pants" didn't make this list.

[@Stablemable2]

Keenan Thomas-Cinema Classics are among my funniest list.

[@nolanorion]

Definitely Kevin Roberts. "Yo, did that guy just say can a bitch get a donut?"

[@bigcountryESPN]

"Meet your second wife" at #15 is about 14 spots too low.

[@rumudinc3057]

Here are some of my favorites: Cha Cha Slide, P. J Doesn't fit into Women's Group, A Close Encounter, New Paint, Real Housewives of Disney, Beauty and The Beast(i memorized the lines), Alaaddin with Cecily Strong and Adam Driver, A Lady's Guide To Throw a Party in 20s or something with January Jones, Back Home Ballers, Do in on my twin bed, First got Horny 2 you, Papyrus, most commercial parodies, Danielle, Maybelline (Louis CK one), The Wizard of Oz, Girls Meet Blerta, Japanese Office, M&M Store, The Fault in Our Stars 2, The Voice Season 4, America's Got Talent (deleted on youtube), The Sound of Music These are the ones i can remember but I know there are much more. Your list isn't relatable to me at all.

[@datboisazon1589]

What about the shia LaBeouf one

[@jeremyjamm3131]

I don't know how they picked the worst celebrity jeopardy, some of them were great, that one wasnt

[@johnnykauffman4816]

Jimmy Fallon laughed literally every sketch. It ruined a lot of potential jokes

[@remyasmar418]

Totally disagree with your number one choice. Without question the best episode of all times on SNL is the Schweaty balls skit with Alec Baldwin.

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

Needs Farewell, Mr. Bunting.

[@WendelSchultz]

Poetry class with Mrs. Meadows

[@linziRyan1965]

My favourite was always teacher’s trial.

[@theobserver7719]

Definitely the funniest sketch of all time. Buy you probably need to be a guy to appreciate it.

[@devinfaucette]

Lol. That's definitely NOT Christopher Walken's favorite sketch....

[@dansimsss]

More cowbell is very funny, but i prefer the alien abduction one.

[@breannataylor3279]

THE GOLDEN RULE 🥳

[@RyGuyLikesFrenchFry]

Fallon is tool for always breaking character

[@arielfangirlmendez]

Did anyone wanna see the californians as a SNL movie

[@audreyquinn73]

Absolutely! 100%! Born and raised native Califoooornian here. I take the 405 South to the 118 East to the 134 and get off at Bueeeeena Vista or if the traffic is really baaaad I can take surface streets, but I won't bore you with that here in the comments section. Actually I left California (and the US altogether) over 20 years ago, but that series of sketches slays me every time with So Cal nostalgia!

[@Funkytowwn101]

PAPYRUS!!!!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

One of my favorite SNL skits, from this century, would have to be the puppet class sketches where Bill Hader plays a Vietnam vet named Tony, who creates an exact puppet replica of himself, so that he can use the puppet as an outlet to tell his ghastly war stories to the other puppet class members. I can't remember if Seth Mcfarlane is in all of them or not, but the original one, where he's the instructor, is probably my favorite. I wish it was included in the top 10.

[@danielhamilton1130]

I was expecting that one to be top 6

[@youfuckinknowit]

That is one of the best, for sure. I love showing that to people who haven’t seen it.

[@aaronb8637]

Where's the Peyton Manning/United Way clip and has everyone forgot when Dwayne Johnson played Sasquatch and had a duet album with Neil Diamond?

[@Jkev24]

Oh yeah that Peyton Manning skit is in my top 20 for this century for sure.

[@Phanthief95]

Alex: “We can’t keep playing if you don’t let go of the pickle.” Connery: “That’s what your mother said last night!” Still makes me laugh.

[@Lvetto]

"(Do it on my) twin bed" and "Santa Baby" deserved at least honorable mentions.
